Sri Lanka, March 9 -- The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln was seen on weekend off the coast of Oman, sailing northwest in the direction of the Strait of Hormuz.

Images of the vessel were released by the EU's Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission.

U.S. Central Command shared photographs on X it said showed the carrier operating at sea.

The Lincoln is one of two aircraft carriers deployed to the region in recent weeks and the only one relatively close to Iranian shores.

Total US naval presence in the region now exceeds 30 warships, according to US Central Command (CENTCOM).

CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper stated that US and allied forces achieved total air and sea dominance over Iran within six days of the campaign's launch.
